Rutgers added two mid-year additions today — meaning both will be able to participate in spring football practice — when offensive tackle and Maryland transfer R.J. Dill and true freshman placekicker Kyle Federico enrolled in classes, the school announced.

The 6-7, 300-pound Dill, who started 33 games for Maryland at right tackle (including 30 in a row), is taking advantage of an NCAA rule that allows him to be eligible immediately while pursuing a master's degree in a course at another school that is not offered by his former school.

Dill, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., graduated from Maryland with a degree in economics in December and is seeking a master's in labor relations at Rutgers. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

Federico, from Ponte Vedra, Fla., will step immediately into the competition to replace placekicker San San Te by enrolling for the second semester. He will likely get a heavy workload in the spring to see if he can handle the starting job.

Federico is part of a recruiting class that will be officially announced on national letter of intent signing day on Feb. 1.
